Campfires and open fires are currently banned in every region of B.C. except the Prince George Fire Centre — where there are major restrictions — and a strip along the west coast of Vancouver Island known as the Fog Zone.

The prohibitions do not apply to CSA-rated or ULC-rated cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to portable campfire apparatuses that used briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel so long as the flames are shorter than 15 centimetres.
